Cats are generally aware when they scratch you, but it is usually unintentional. They may scratch you as a natural behavior, such as when they are playing or stretching. However, they may also scratch you if they feel threatened or scared. It is important to understand their body language and provide appropriate scratching posts to redirect their behavior.

What do cats love to scratch?

According to animal behaviorists, the reason is amazingly enough NOT that they are just sharpening their claws. Research on cat behavior suggests that the major reason for this behavior is communication. By roughing up the bark of a tree, or the leg of your favorite chair, the cat is letting other cats or people (which they see as a form of different, food-bearing cat anyway) know where she is and what she is up to. Cats will therefore scratch by preference something easily scratchable and they usually limit themselves to a few 'favorite' scratching spots they will keep revisiting.
